So I have a question, as always!
All you guy's who use a carbon prop versus a wooden prop of equal size, do you see or feel a significant difference how the tug pulls?

Jeremy,
Through my years of flying IMAC and now Aerotowing I have found that the Carbon Fiber props are more efficient and have lower noise when the plane has the right prop. The only down side is the price. I prefer the 3 blade for the noise reduction and less torque. The 3 blade generally has a little less thrust than the proper 2 blade. I have been using Mejzlik for many years and like them very much. As always there are a few exceptions where the wood prop is better. I used a Vess 23A on a Hybrid Edge 540, 92" span, 16.5 lbs, with a DA 50 on an RE-2 tuned pipe. That prop really turned that plane on.
